At Performance Canines, we specialize in relationship-based, results-driven dog training tailored to real life—whether that means navigating busy city streets, hitting the trails, or creating calm and structure at home.
 

I’m Lexi (Alexa), the owner and lead trainer behind the work we do. I grew up in the mountains of Germany with a deep love for animals and the outdoors, and I’ve carried that passion into years of professional dog training experience. I’m also a certified Service Dog trainer through Bergin University of Canine Studies, and I bring both formal education and hands-on experience into every session.
 

Before settling in Utah, I spent years building strong bonds with clients and dogs across Boston and Cape Cod. That foundation helped shape my training approach—one focused on understanding the individual dog in front of me, building trust, and creating clear communication between handler and dog.
 

Now based in Sandy, UT, I offer customized training that fits your lifestyle—whether you're working through puppy basics, tackling behavioral issues, training a reliable service dog, or helping your dog become a confident adventure partner in Utah’s wild terrain.

Wherever you are in your training journey, I'm here to help you and your dog build a bond based on trust, structure, and joy.
